Description Maybe it's just me, but this was quite disturbing... The only other picture I took at the cemetery today. Just the missing hands, so creepy to me.

You know the more i look at this shot, the more it's beauty speaks to me. Maybe the missing hands are a subconscience symbol for somthing beyond our own perceptual understanding......?

I do like this shot alot. The hands to me represent just how helpless we really are. We have to use this one life, this one chance to do something good, we cannot keep death away...

there are so many uncared for cemetaries in our area.

we're total strangers.
but i say we should go to a cemetary together someday.
none of my other friends will let me take pictures there.
they think it's creepy.

I don't mind it, a few really cool ones near Spring Grove...
I like Spring Grove, but it's so pristine... if i'm gonna take shots, i prefer the run down ones... more character.
I try not to take pictures just for the hell of it. I try to find decent shots. I have friends who just take pictures of whatever... I try to put something behind them.

there's one... way out in the middle of no where when you head 275 east. it's amazing.
and it's next to a llama farm.
what's cooler than a llama?

I like this, it's creepy. It looks like there are blood splatters on the arms and face.. or is it just me that sees that? Heh.

There is a peacefulness here. The missing hands don't disturb me--just makes you wonder for a sec "hmmm, what happened here?". Other than that--this is a lovely photo. Graveyards like this don't exist around here much. There are some truly beautiful ones in Savannah, Ga. though along with the ghost tours . Very nice.

Thank you! I this shot is sad... but I liked it. Some of the old cemeteries around here have many of these broken down statues. One I didn't take was of this little headless cherub. It was too depressing to look at.

I like the contrast that you where able to place right down into this but the rest of the picture is really just sad it makes it have that sad feeling that it is sad cause it can't help anyone at all.

I was very pleased with this shot, but they did sadden me. I only took a few shots that day. I was in the wrong mindset to be in a very old cemetery....

I was going to say... "is it the missing hands?" It doesn't seem disturbing to me... I rather like it. Good shot!

Glad you like it!
